I’m on F8. Loooooooonnng process to update it once you have spent hours on the download. Haven’t noticed any road changes yet. Like others have mentioned, no log file to upload so I need to check and see if my car is still showing as having an update available.

Some people saying the maps update doesn't generate a log file... myself included... It would appear ford have corrected this issue... I've had a look today and downloaded the maps for my car again, and the log creation file now appears in the SyncMyRide folder... Whereas it didn't when I originally downloaded it...

I just ran a shortend script that created a log file, uploaded that (see post from last Thursday).

I've also downloaded the F8 map package from a link posted by someone else. The Voice and Gracenote on mine is already the latest, but the maps are one version up (F7 to F8). Unfortunately, I killed my only 32GB USB stick the other day, so I'm waiting for a new one to do the F8 update. If you know what your doing, you can keep one step ahead of the random crap that Ford offer through the update page! 😉

I'm like you, Still on F7 and about to update to F8. Noticed that the A556 isn't in the F7 update, but then again, there are roads older than 2 years still not in the maps!! You can report map changes and missing/changed road via a link on the Ford website (which takes you to the map provider),. Saying that, Ford are not good at updating or releasing the latest maps. You would have though that a company like Ford could manage monthly or quarterly updates which were really up to date ... but alas NO!

When I install the F8 I'll check if the A556 (and new A555) is included.

I’m on F8 maps and have no idea where you are talking about as I’m just outside Edinburgh but I’ve had a look and can provide the two attached photos which appear to confirm the A556 on my maps that you refer to. Can you confirm this is where you mean ??
